His MAJESTY'S Ministers cannot fail to be de lighted with the enthusiasm with which the mere men tion of their names is everywhere received in Ireland. Their praises are not mere lip praises, but spring warm from the hearts of the people. Wherever Mr. O'CoN NELL has been—and he has been very active in his peregrinations of late—there he has found his country men willing, and even eager, to place the most un bounded confidence in the MELBOURNE Government. At Tuam—at Stradbally—at Tralee—he found the people Ministerial, almost to a man. He had no oc casion to appeal to their understandings or their sen sibilities. He saw at once that conviction had pre ceded him, and rendered such a task superfluous. Here is encouragement—such as none ever had be fore—for a British Cabinet to proceed vigorously in the cause of rational Reform ! Nothing visionary or impracticable is demanded of them. They are merely called on to continue as they have commenced ; to do justice to themselves and the people ; and, above all, to bear in mind, that Ireland has the same claims on their respectful consideration as either Scotland or England. If our readers ask us for further proofs of the fa vourable disposition entertained towards the MEL BOURNE Cabinet by the sister country, we refer them to the two important—and indeed we may call them national—Meetings, held on Monday last at Dublin. One was of the aristocracy and the higher mercantile classes ; the other, of the Trades' Union and the respectable shopkeepers. At both these Meetings the same generous spirit predominated. Both vied with each other, in the warmth of their attach ment to the present Ministry. The higher classes were willing to give up the dissentions that have so long divided them : the lower were willing to give up their darling hobby " Repeal ;" while both were equally resolute and unanimous in their determination never again to submit to the thraldom of a Tory Administration. Hear this, Conservatives, and be convinced! In this resolution of a confederated king dom, read the hand-writing on the wall, which so lemnly and emphatically declares—" Your kingdom has departed from you !" We look on the two great Meetings to which we have just alluded, as the most important of any that have yet taken place in Ireland. They are national, in the most comprehensive sense in which that term can he applied. It i s no t now th e vo i ce o f t h e mere Catholic that is speaki ng . F ar o th erw i se . I t i s t h e voice of a united people. The Conservatives may af fect to despise it—they may turn a deaf ear to it—they m ay even call it the angry clamour of a faction ; but they cannot—they dare not—i n their hearts, deny that it speaks the language of irresistibl e power. And what is this language ? That of h o p e an d encouragement for Ireland ! Do us justice, it says ; place us on the same footing with our fellow-countrym en of England and Scotland ; bestow on us the same unhesitating confidence that you bestow on them ; acknowledg e that the hearts which beat in our bosoms are as wa rm an d generous a s th ose w hich beat in theirs ; that we are men like them—citizens like them—patriots like them; ,quite as alive to the honour of the empire as they can be ; and quite as ready to defend it when impugned— do this ; wipe away the brand that seven centuries of slavery have imprinted on us : and from that moment we are your's, heart and soul ; bound to you, not by a mere parchment tie, which is at the mercy of accidents, and which the first untoward event may tear to atoms, and scatter to the four winds of Heaven ; but by the indissoluble link of feeling, interest, gratitude and hu manity. We ask you to render us this act of simple THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 28, 1836 from Bourdeax to Paris; this accident, the particulars of which are riot known, would account, in a manner much to be regretted, for the delay of his arrival ; for, as he left Bourdeaux on the 19th, he might have been at Paris the day before yesterday. • The Ca:ette, speaking of the late actions near Vittoria, says—" It is believed that the Christinos will renew the at. tack, though Cordova is rather disconcerted at having failed in the first two days. The Algerinc and English Legions, arc the two corps that suffered the most." The Jloniteur has no news to-day. It is not 10,000 uniforms, but 6,500, and 1,000 pieces of cloth, that the Isabella steam-boat has taken on board at Bourdeaux, to convey to Santander. —Messayer, Jan. 26.

On the 4th, Mr. BARTON arrived at New York, on board the packet ship Albany, in which he sailed from Havre, on the 3d of December. No portion of the communications made by him to the PRESIDENT, with respect to France, had transpired up to the date of these Journals. The New York Spectator—one of the largest American papers—has no fewer than eight of its columns taken up with the Governor W. L. MARCY'S message to the Senate and House of Assembly ! In fact Mr. MA ncY vies with the PRESIDENT himself in the long-windedness of his message. We shall make a few extracts from it, the more especially as the Governor's report is a little more trustworthy with respect to the real state of American Institutions, than the gossip of fashionable tourists : PRIMARY SCHOOLS :—Reports have been received for the year 1834, by the Superintendent of the Common Schools, from all the towns and wards in the state. The number of school districts therein is ten thousand ono hundred and thirty two, and the number of children five hundred and forty-three thousand and eighty-five, of 'whom fire hundred and forty-one thousand four hundred and one hare received instruction in the common schools. The - public money 4 distributed to these schools amount to three hundred and twelve thousand one hun dred and eighty-one dollars and twenty cents, including the one hundred thousand dollars derived from the income of the Common School Fund, and eighteen thousand six hundred and twenty dollars and ninety-two cents from local funds belong ing to particular towns. The residue was raised by taxation on the property of the several towns and cities. A farther sum of about four hundred and twenty thousand dollars was also paid by the inhabitants of the several districts. The ag gregate amount of these sums, seven hundred and thirty-two thousand one hundred and eighty-one dollars and twenty cents, (except a few thousand dollars expended in the city of New York upon school houses) was paid for teachers' wages. The whole amount of expenditures on account of common schools in this state, for the year 1884, was at least one million three hundred thousand dollars. ACADEMIES.—Our academies and seminaries of learning are objects of great public interest, and worthy of the fostering care of Government; particularly so in regard to their agency in supplying to some extent the demand for common school teachers. There are many of high character and of extensive usefulness, that are not under the supervision of the Regents of the University, and consequently receive no aid from the literary fund. I have not the means of ascertaining their number, or their particular condition. There are sixty-eight academies subject to the visitation of the Regents, and all but five of them made reports to the Regents last year. The whole number of students receiving instruction in them at the date of these reports, was five thousand two hundred and ninety-six ; the amount of tuition paid by them in 1834, was seventy-three thousand four hundred and seventy-two dollars : and the real and personal property owned by these academies, including philosophical apparatus and libraries, amounted to five hundred and seventy-one thousand four hundred and se venty dollars. COLLEGES.—There are seven colleges in this state, includ ing the two medical institutions. Hamilton and Geneva colleges have had to struggle with difficulties for want of a more liberal endowment. The plan of the University of the city of New York is, in many respects, similar to that of the most extensive universities on the continent of Europe, and contains arrangements for imparting instruction on many other subjects than those usually embraced in the ordinary collegiate course. This institution is in its infancy, and many parts of its plan are not yet put in execution. It is however, reasonable to hope that it will in due time fulfil the expectations of its founders.—Columbia and union colleges are both in a very flourishing condition. PENITENTIARIES.-Our penitentiaries continue to present very favourable results. The number of convicts in the Au burn prison is very little larger than that of last year. The number in the Mount Pleasant prison has been very much re duced. On the 30th of September last it was 45 less than on that day in the previous year, and the number received in 1835, from the counties that are required to send their con victs to this prison, was also 45 less than was sent from the same counties in 1834. The whole number of convicts in both prisons, on the Ist of December last, was 1,451. The earnings and profits of the Auburn prison during the last fiscal year, exceed the expenses for general support and ordinary repairs, seven thousand three hundred and eighty eight dollars and thirty-eight cents. Of this sum there has been expended on buildings and for machinery, in pay ment of fees to Sheriffs for transporting convicts, under the Act in relation to the state prison, passed at the last session, and for expenditure on a few other unusual ob jects, five thousand six hundred and fifty-six dollars ten cents. The officers of the Auburn prison estimate the sheriffs' fees, which by that law are to be paid from the earnings of the convicts, at more than seven thousand dollars, and they are apprehensive that this additional charge upon, and the diminution of, the income, which will result from that law, will make an appropriation from the Treasury to some extent necessary to defray its expenses. Creditable as this statement is, to those who have managed this institution, the prison at Mount Pleasant presents still more successful results. The moneys received for the earnings of the convicts in this establishment, including ten thousand dollars for work done for the State, for which payment has not been required, amount to eighty-five thousand one hun dred and sixty-four dollars and forty-two cents, and the ex penses for general support have been only fifty-six thousand three hundred and sixty-one dollars and six cents. It should be recollected that this prison defrays the expense of sup porting the female convicts. After deducting the sum paid for this object, and for building materials, which together amount to five thousand five hundred and ninety-six dollars and twenty-nine cents., the surplus earnings of this prison for the past year are twenty-three thousand two hundred and seven dollars and seven cents. CORPORATE FUNDS.-The productive capital of the Com mon School Fund is one million eight hundred and seventy five thousand one hundred and ninety-one cents. Its income during the last fiscal year, was one hundred and thirty-four thousand dollars. This income exceeds the estimated amoun t about twenty-six thousand dollars, and is considerably larger than it will be in future years. It will not, however, fall in any year much short of one hundred and ten thousand dollars. This distribution to the common schools may, therefore, be permanently raised to one hundred and ten thousand dollars annually, as soon as an apportionment can be made under the census recently taken. The Literature Fund is two hundred and sixty-five thousand three hundred and forty-two dollars and eighty-seven cents., and produced an income last year of fifteen thousand seven hundred and thirty-six dollars and twenty-five cents. The Bank Fund, at the close of the fiscal year, was four hundred and seven thousand and ninety-four dollars and ninety-nine cents., and the payment due on the first instant will add to it one hundred and thirty thousand dollars. CANALS.—The canals continue to increase in productive ness. The total amount of tolls collected on them during the year ending the 30th September, was one million four hun dred eighty-five thousand seven hundred and seventy-five dol lars and nine cents. The income from the tolls and all other sources of revenue during that year, was one million nine hundred and sixty-two thousand five hundred and twenty-three dollars and twelve cents. The disbursements for repairs and collections of tolls for the same time, were five hundred and five thousand seven hundred and eighty-eight dollars and seventy-eight cents ; and the entire expenses on all accounts, including the interest of the canal debts, amounted to eight hundred and thirty thousand three hundred and fifty-three dollars and sixteen cents. PROSPERITY OF NEW YORK.—The real and personal pro perty in the city of New York, according to the valuation of last year, exceeds two hundred and eighteen millions of dol lars; ii is tole than doub l e what it was in 18 25, and more than two-thirds of the amount of the valuation of all the tax able property of the Stat s e o , il i izwh civ a cl!pg ccn;, that ,4 city w 4 ten h t years lko ago. ctir SToPK-.IOI3DING•__ rency and the urea transactioßnswof4tthoenstitoante,tl9dea practicesem it to be As my imperative duty to invite y which, carried to the excess it - has lately been, is, in opi nion, very pernicious to the well being of the state. Dealing in stocks, so far as it assumes the character of stock-jobbing, justice, in the full conviction that you are able and wil ling to do so. Our ancient distrust is fast dying from among us. The Saxon is no longer our hereditary foe. The bow of promise is hung out in our heavens. Better times are at hand ; and feeling—seeing this, we arc ready to gain by conciliation, what we once endea voured to extort by menace. If this be not the language spoken at the Dublin Meetings, we have sadly misinterpreted its import. But no, there is no mistaking the meaning of Mr. O'CONNELL'S argument. It is throughout a broad, but temperate, appeal to the justice and common-sense of England, as impersonated by its Ministers. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman is no frantic demagogue, no visionary enthusiast. He simply speaks the lan guage of an enlightened Reformer. All he insists on for Ireland, are, first, an ample measur e of Corporate Reform ; secondly, the extinction of tithes ; thirdly, the placing of the registry in the hands of impartial Assistant Barristers. And who shall say " Nay" to these just and moderate demands ? Not the English people, we are sure. Not the English Cabinet, we are sure. No, they will be resisted only by the Tories; who, by such resistance, will sign their death-warrant. We must not omit to notice the nature of the sup port which Mr. O'CONNELL—as the organ of Ire land—proposes to give to Ministers. He will back them in the spirit of a man, not as a partisan, or toad eater. He will not " extenuate their faults." He will not " set down aught in malice." All he demands from them is justice ; and a just support is all he feels that they have a right in turn to demand from him. B►:t the most cheering portion of the Honourable and Learned Member's speech, is where he talks of the union that now prevails among all classes of reformers in Ireland. " We have called on the Aristocracy," says he, " and they have responded by consenting to take their station at the head of the people. In a word, we are all combined in one grand national con federacy." Hear this, Scotch and English reformers, and lose not a day—not an hour—in combining is the same spirit, and for the same glorious ends ! Do not fall to cavilling, and splitting of hairs, when you should be bent on nobler objects ; but, whether in Parliament, or out of Parliament, have, one and all of you, your attention fixed exclusively on the general good. A great boon is not to be rejected, because it is not the greatest possible boon. Half a cake is better than no cake at all. Above all, Reformers, do not attempt to be wise or persevering beyond what is practicable. Theory is well enough in its way, but practice is better ; for it is by the latter, not by the former, that this matter-of-fact world of ours is to be governed. If we indulge too much in Utopian speculations ; allow ideas to sway us more than ' things ; prefer walking by ourselves, or with our own little coterie, instead of being'duly drilled and disciplined, so' as to present one compact confederated phalanx to the enemy, we shall throw the game into the hands of the combined High-Churchmen and Tories—for priestcraft and Toryism go together, like substantive and adjective, the one being the indispensable exponent of the other— see the good cause slip though our fingers ; and be compelled to put up with the shadow, where we might have grasped the substance, of Reform. We throw out these hints in no distrustful spirit, but simply be cause we feel convinced that in the approaching Ses sion, all depends on union. United we are irresistible. Divided, we cannot stand a month. Since the above was written, we have received by Extraordinary Express, the proceedings at Liverpool late last night, to which we beg the attention of our readers, especially Mr. O'CONNELL'S ad►nirable speech. The whole of the Paris Papers of Tuesday have b2en received. On Monday M. HuNIANN made a speech in the ninth Bereau, or Committee, on the re duction of the interest on the Five per Cents, in the course of which he took care not to conceal any of his opinions on this great question. He stated that since the revolution, which placed the present Sovereign of France upon the throne, the eountry had increased its debt to the amount of about eight hundred millions of francs, or forty millions per annum ; that the de ficit in the public revenue amounted in 1834 to one hundred and sixty-seven millions of francs ; in 1835, to thirty-eight millions ; and in 1836, to twenty-one millions. He further stated that Ministers could not carry on the affairs of the country without obtain ing for the current year aim extraordinary grant of seventeen millions of francs. The reduction of the taxes on liquors, and beet-root sugar; would create a large reduction probably thirty-five millions and upwards—in the revenue for the ensuing year ; so that the measure which he had recommended to the Chamber for reducing the interest on the debt was thus rendered indispensable. It was the confi dence he had that Government approved of his mea -1 sure for reducing the interest, or payinc , off the Five per Cents., which induced him to continue so long a member of the Cabinet. For had the result been known to him, his retirement would have taken place at a much carper period. He concluded by observing that several of his late colleagues entertained the same opinions which he did, although they had not felt it their duty to imitate him in withdrawing from the Ca binet. The Bureau approved of the doctrines set forth in the speech of the Ex-Minister, and declared that it would forthwith adopt them in its resolutions, and re port to the Chamber. Thus, out of the nine Bureaus or standing Committees into which the Chamber of Deputies is divided, seven have declared in favour of the " Conversion," as it is termed, of the Five per Cents. Should this measure be finally resolved upon, in opposition to the will of the KING and the clamours of the Parisian shopkeepers, the recall of M. Hu- MANN will precede its accomplishment. The Paris Papers devote a considerable part of their .columns to the hazards of a war now believed to be : imminent between Great Britain and Russia. Strange 'to say, the French affect a neutrality in the event of such a catastrophe. England, and England only, is bound to watch over the faith of treaties. Well, all this is of no great importance. Despite of the calum nies of the National, there are men in France who feel that the nation to which they below , needs not Eng land to vindicate her honour, and watch over her inte rests. And were it otherwise, there is little cause for serious alarm. England has before now taught the Powers of the Continent that she can not only preserve but re-adjust the balance of power in Europe. We may, in the course of A day or two, take some further' notice of the malignant libels respecting this country, now daily published in the columns of the National. PARIS, JAN. 26.—The Piedmontese Gazette publishes the official news of the safe delivery of the Queen of Naples of a Prince, who has received, among other names, those of Francis d' Assisas and Emanuel. The same journal gives news from Cagliari, which is unin teresting, but which indicates a country in which things are going on in their natural course. The Court of Peers will met on Saturday, the 30th of Ja nuary, at noon, to commence the proceedings respecting the crimes of the 28th July. A letter from Toulon, of the 20th, speaks of the arma ments which are Preparing there. In addition to the 6,000 hammocks in the magazines, 4,000 new ones are getting reado. 10,000 hammocks are too many for the sailors tha there are still remaining to be disposed of, and it is supposed that troops are to be embarked. The Hercules of 100 guns will be launched at the end of February. Orders are given to equip it immediately. It is stated that General Maya bra* 14 thifib? to )1?s wa7 is a species of gambling, and produces most of the evils, public and private, which usually result from the indulgence of that unfortunate propensity. If this kind of speculation has not been recently conducted in a manner altogether new, it cer tainly has beon carried to an extent altogether unprecedented. Immense quantities of stock have been sold by those who had it not, under a contract to be fulfilled at some future period, and purchased by those who did not expect a delivery of it. The results of these transactions are adjusted without the de livery of the stock, and the loss and gain ascertained by its market lalue on the day stipulated for performing the con tract. This is no more nor less than a wager' upon the price of particular stocks on a specified future day. It is worse than wagers upon ordinary contingencies, be cause the event may be controlled by artifice and ma nagemeit, and the persons concerned are too stronly tempted to resort to them to subserve their interest. It is true, our present laws regard these transactions with disfavour. Such =tracts are not only declared void, but the persons who have gained by them may be compelled to refund to the losing party or his representatives • yet they are constantly made, arid in most instances faithfully executed. The extent to which this species of gambling has been lately carried, and its injurious effects upon many individuals who have embarked in it, have given it the character and consequences of a public evil ; and your official situation imposes on you, in my opinion, the duty to suppress it. I recommend to you to lay this prac tice under a strong legal interdiction—an interdiction that shall be rendered effective by pains and penalties. SLAVE ABOLITION.—A few individuals in the middle and Eastern States, acting on mistaken motives of moral and re ligious duty, or some less justifiable principle, and disregard ing the obligations which they owe their respective govern ments, !lave embarked in an enterprise for abolishing domes tic slavery in the southern and southwestern States. Their proceedings have caused much mischief in those States, and have not been entirely harmless in their own. They have ac quired oo much importance, by the evils which have already resultec from them, and by the magnitude and numbers of those which are likely to follow if they are farther persisted in to justify me in passing them without notice. These pro endings have not only found no favour with a vast majority of our corstitucnts, but they have been generally reprobated. In our commercial metropolis, the abolitionists have esta blishel one of their principal magazines, from which they have seat their miss:ess of annoyance into the Slaveholding States. The impression produced in those States, that this proceeding was encouraged by a portion of the business-men of the city of New York, or at least was not sufficiently discountenanced by them, threatened injurious consequences to our commerce. A proposition was made for an extensive voluntary asssocia ciation in the South, to suspend business intercourse with our citizens. A regard for the character of our State, for the pubic interest, for the preservation of peace among our citizens, as well as a due respect for the obligations created by our political institutions and relations, calls upon us to do what may be done, consistently with the great principle of civil liberty, to put an end to the evils which the abditionists are bringing upon us and the whole country. With whatever disfavour we may view the institution of domes tic slavery, we ought not to overlook the very formidable dif ficulties of abolishing it, or give countenance to any scheme for accomplishing this object, in violation of the solemn gua rantees we are under not to interfere with this institution as it exists in other States. Domestic slavery existed in almost every State when the Federal Union was formed. Its character was as well under stood then as now. The men who founded the General Go verment had as much philanthropy, and as just an appreciation of moral and religious duty, and knew as well what was due to the cause of human rights as the present generation ; yet so great did they regard the difficulties of abolishing slavery, and so disastrous to the public welfare would be, as they appre hended, any intermeddling with it in the respective States, except by the citizens and civil authorities thereof, that they delegated to Congress no power to act on this subject, farther than to prohibit the importation of slaves after the year 1807 ; but they recognized the right of the several States to continue slavery without interference, by obliging them to deliver up to each other all fugitive slaves. They left the right to abolish slavery where only it could with safety be left—with the res pective States wherein slavery existed. The proceedings of the abolitionists have rendered their object in this respect perfectly unattainable. They have al ready excited such a feeling in all those States, that a pro position so to enlarge the powers of Congress, would be in stantly rejected by each with indignation. if their operations here are to inflame the fanatical zeal of emissaries, and insti gate them to go on missions to the slave-holding States, there to distribute abolition publications and promulgate abolition doctrines, their success in this enterprise is foretold by the fate of the deluded men who have preeeded them. The mo ment they pass the borders of those States, and begin their labours, they violate the laws of the jurisdiction they have in-* vaded, and incur the penalty of death, or other ignominious punishment. TxzAs.—The General Government is exercising that power to suppress such acts of the citizens of the United States, done within its jurisdiction, in relation to the belli gerent authorities of Mexico and Texas, as are consistent with the relations of peace and amity we sustain toward those States. Such a power, therefore, belonged to the sovereignty of each of the States, before the formation of the Union, and as far as regards their relations to each other, it was not delegated to the General Government.—lt still remains unimpaired, and the obligations to exercise it have acquired additional force from the nature and objects of the federal compact. I cannot doubt that the Legislature possesses the power t o pass such penal laws as will have the effect of preventing the citizens of this state and residents within it, from availing themselves with impunity, of the protection of its sovereignty and laws, while they are actually employed in exciting insurrection and sedition in a sister state, or engaged in treasonable enterprises intended to be executed therein. WAR IN TEXAS. FROM TEXAS.—The report of the capture of. San Antonio de Bexar, received yesterday by letters from New Orleans, is in part confirmed by the papers from that city. It is stated that on the 29th of November a sortie was made by 350 Mexi cans, but that they were repulsed with a loss of 50 or 60 killed while on the part of the beseigers the loss was only one killed and three wounded. The schooner Julius Cies or, arrived at New Orleans on the 20th of December from Brazoria, having sailed on the 15th, brought information that early on the morning of the Ath, the Texans assaulted the town of San Antonia, and after a hard struggle, which is said to have lasted 36 hours (doubtful), succeeded in gaining possession of some store-houses, in which they sheltered themselves, and from which they silenced three of the enemy's most effective guns. The express that brought the intelligence to Brazoria had left about four p.m. on the 6th, and at that pericd the fight continued to thicken on all sides. The Texans had then two killed and twelve wounded, and although the loss of the enemy could not be ascertained—as they carried off as many of the dead as they could—the destruction was considered great, as not less than seventeen corpses wore counted around one of the guns that had been silenced. _ _ _ It was subsequently reported in New Orleans that General Cos had been compelled to evacuate the town, and take refuge in the fort or citadel. The Mobile Register of the 24th of December, quoting from the Natchez Courier, says that a message from Santa Anna to General Cos had been intercepted, in which informa tion is given that Santa Anna would march in a few months to the relief of Cos, with from 5 to 10,000 men, if the latter could hold out in San Antonio. IMPORTANT PROM MEXICO.—No doubt now exists but that Mexico has closed her ports to the United States. It is stated that she will also declare war, both against Texas and the United States. The particulars of this new state of affairs are expected every day. Santa Anna intends to -arouse all the Mexican population against the United States. We have accounts from Teheran to the Ist of De cember. Sir JOHN CAMPBELL, the British Envoy at the Court of Persia, was then preparing to return to England. Sir JOHN was much offended with the SCIIAII for appointing as Vizier an individual noto riously incompetent to discharge the functions of a Minister, and who, moreover, was the mere tool of Russia. MEHEMET ALI has promised to redress all wrongs complained of by British merchants and British residents in Syria, and every other part of his domi nions. So much for adopting language worthy of the British people. Had Lord PoNsoNsy intreated in stead of employing a menace, the PACHA would have l a ughed us to scorn. We wish our Ministers at home would take a lesson from this instance of the benefit derived from a straightforward system of foreign policy. We have received advices from Madrid to the 19th inst. On the 17th, the convents were shut up, and the Monks sent off, by order, and at the charge of the Government, to their respective homes, or rather birthplaces. This measure was to be followed up by closing the convents in every part of the kingdom subject to the authority of the QUEEN-REGENT. The Royal Ordinance to that effect was spoken of on the 18th, as likely to appear in the next day's Gazette. The Chambers, or Estamentos, as they are called, were proceeding with the legislative business before them. The Procuradores adopted the fifth article of the Electoral Law, by a large majority, in a division, in which Senors TORENO and DE LA ROSA were both among the minority. No certain intelligence has yet been received of the details of the engagements between the Christinos and the Carlists near Vittoria on the 16th and 17th inst. CORDOVA'S despatch, written on the evening of the 16th, and addressed to the Nlinister of War, states that only a small part of the Christinos were engaged, and that although the Carlists fought desperately, they were completely driven from their lines. This General was then ignorant whether the 4-fii4sh Lsin had been engaged the conrse pf the 4 4 y, and only supposed they were finm hearing shots flied at a dis tance. CORDOVA had 150 men :wounded in the course of this engagement. CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY). KAY V MARSHAL. The further arguments in this appeal were proceeded with and concluded. His Lordship said he would give judgment on Monday. The Lord Chancellor then proceeded to hear Mr. Pitt argue his own case. The Master of the Rolls and the Vice-Chancellor were oc cupied the whole of the morning with hearing motions of no public interest. EXCHEQUER COURT-(THIS DAY). BUTTER V. BUCHTON AND ANOTHER, ASSIGNEES. This was an action of trover for the recovery of a large quantity of farm produce and stock, which was tried before Lord Abinger at the late Assizes for Liverpool, when a ver dict was found for the plaintiff: Last Term Mr. Blackburn obtained a rule for a new trial, cause against which was shown this morning. His LORDSIIIP read over his notes of the evidence, from which it appeared that the plaintiff was security for the rent of n farmer named Mason, to whom in the month of May, 1834, he made an assignment of all his property. On the 19th of May an officer took an inventory under the assignment, but be was turned out by a messenger under a fiat of bankruptcy to which the defendants were assignees. The plaintiff showed that it was a well known fact in the neighbourhood that the plaintiff had the assignment of Mason's property, and that there was no act of bankruptcy committed till after the entry upon the assignment. Mr. CRESSWELL hoped for the sake of the administration of justice the Court would discharge a rule which had been ob tained upon the ground of surprise, and that the defen dants were now willing to purchase certain witnesses at a higher price than they would give them before the Jury had found a verdict against them. He could gather from the affidavits of the other side no other grounds for a new trial, than that they were much surprised at the Jury finding against them, and that certain creditors who would have been important to their case required too great a_price for a release ; but they were willing to purchase them. That ought to have been done before. All the facts they could speak to were well known. He would ask whether it was possible for the Court to grant a new trial to any party who has had a verdict against him, when he came down and said, " Oh ! I was surprised that the Jury did not believe such a witness; had we known that, we would have called three or four more to have corro borated him." After stating some of the circumstances which came out at the trial, the Learned Gentleman (the Court be ing evidently with him) said he would not take up more of their Lordships' time. It would be a waste of it. Mr. ALEXANDER and Mr. MARTIN were on the same side, but they merely said they considered it unnecessary to trouble the Court. Mr. BLACKBURN said he would so far follow the example of his Learned Friends, as to take up a very short while of their Lordships' time. Ile would throw aside all the topics brought into the case by Mr. Cresswell, and simply state the single ground upon which he moved for, and intended to sup port, the rule for a new trial in this case, upon the payment of costs. It was the fact of the Jury, after having found for the plaintiff, in answer to a question put by his Lordship, say ing they were of opinion that goods had been moved and sent to Various parties, in order to avoid a distress for rent ; he was prepared with affidavits which clearly proved that that could not have been the case, for there was no intention on the part of the landlord to put in any till he heard of the bankruptcy. They proved at the trial that Mason had moved large quan tities of goods, both farm produce and furniture, before the plaintiff made his seizure, and from the fact that they were sent to creditors, in every instance it was clear that they were fraudulent preferences, and therefore acts of bankruptcy. The Court said Mason was aware that the plaintiff was going to seize, and might have intended to cheat him. That would not, however, be an act of bankruptcy. Mr. WIGHTMAN and another gentleman behind the bar fol lowed on the same side. Lord ABINGER was clearly of opinion that the rule must be discharged, and had he remembered the circumstances as well as now when the trial was moved for, he would have been against its being granted. Assignees of bankrupts were the last persons to whom rules ought to be granted on the 'ground of surprise, because they had the means of examining all the parties connected with a transaction, before they came into Court. In this case, however, as disclosed by their own affidavits, the only surprise they complained of was at the ver dict being against them. They now suggested no facts with which they were not well acquainted before the trial, and therefore, in his opinion, the rule ought to be discharged. The other Barons were of the same opinion, and would add nothing to what had fallen from the Lord Chief Baron. THE FUNDS = (THIS DAY). CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Canton Papers to the 19th August, and Singapore to the Pith September, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. ( From the Canton Papers.)

It is said he was going to confess the young ladies in that infamous abode. Both the British and Foreign Markets still continue inac tive and heavy.

A passenger in a Greenwich Railway carriage, on Monday last, says that in one of the experimental trips, the train of six carriages was conveyed at the rate of a mile per minute, or 60 miles per hour ! He adds, that the sensation experienced was that of flying, rather than that which is felt in the most rapid of the ordinary modes of travelling. There were two numerous parties of ladies in the carriages, who seemed highly delighted. On Saturday, at the Brentford . Petty Sessions, George Webb, whose appearance was that of a decent farming man, about 60 years of age, very stout and thick set, was charged with having committed an outrage on Mary Ann Hall, a child nine years of age, the daughter of an industrious couple at Twickenham. Lord Montford said, that during the 40 years he had attended as a Magistrate, he bad never witnessed such a scene of infamy and perjury as he had that day. He regretted a link was wanting in the chain of evidence to justify oom miffing the prisone r f or th e cap i ta l offePPA but he should require him to fi tic i 1 - ii ipa 4 eitt in the sum of 1001., and Ov 9 , VCPP* ,50:4 e4cli, to answer any indictment the parish cancers might prefer against him at the next sessif e lns ; and he trusted they would exert therrisel i e* 'O, complete the evidence.

A law is doubtless e x p ecte d, b y w hich the circulation of many (especially foreign) journals will be stopped, or considerably limited. Those public offices which receive French and English journals for official purposes have already been strictly forbidden to lend them to private persons. In particular, it is likely that the reading of such journals, especially the French, will be prohibited, or greatly restricted, in places of public resort, such as the confectioners' shop , l coffee-houses, &c., where they arc at present to be seen iri great numbers. Such restrictions have always existed it Austria. Here in Berlin there is scarcely any considerable confectioner's shop where the National is not lying on the table, which, notwithstanding its present subdued tone, bas still a great many readers. ATIiENS, DEC: 19.—1 t is said that his Majesty the King of Bavaria will prolong his stay in Greece, to be present at the fete in commemoration of the landi ng o f Ki ng O t h o at Napoli.. It is a matter of unusual regret that the Chancellor, Count Armansperg, has been for some time past constantly ill. Nevertheless, his activity is not abated. We are to have two new journals at the commencement of the new year. The prospectus of one has already appeared. For some time past we have had, with short interruptions, very pleasant weather.

BRUSSELS, JAN. 23.—The Chamber of RP:presentatives continue the discussion of the Articles of the Budget of the Minister of War. " This discussion," says the Courier Beige, " has already caused the Minister at the head of this Depart ment to experience more than one check. The nomination of a Committee to examine thoroughly the contract for the supply of bedsteads for the army, must be considered as the most serious of these checks, and if we are well informed, the Committee will not confine itself to a mere examination of the papers relative to the contract, but will. also institute an in quiry into many facts and circumstances connected with this dark operation. " If a high intervention, guided by extra-national political motives, does not now endeavour to render the Chamber placable, we have reason to hope that M. Evain's retirement will not be deferred till the Budget of 1836, as we at first believed." We hear from several quarters that a great number of eminent manufacturers of the three provinces of W ar aur, Luxemburg, and Liege, have resolved to draw up and publish a memorial in favour of the project of our a'..lcession to the German system of Customs, that is, the Prussian Tariff.

This affair, therefore, which seemed to excite so much apprehensions is to be considered as finally settled. To refute many false reports, I briefly remark, that the negotiations were com menced last summer in London by foreign Ministers con nected with our city, and afterwards continued, and n early concluded, with Mr. Cartwright, the English Minister here ; so that Senator Harmie went to London merely to conclude the affair in the usual diplomatic form. It is expected that a notification of our accession to the Commercial Union will be published this week. VIENNA, JAN. 18.--The Archduke Ferdinand of Este has arrived from Clausenburgh. Mr. Fox, the British Minister, had yesterday the honour of a private audience of his Majesty' the Emperor. It is affirmed that the Ambassador, Mr. Lamb, will return to his post here in the course of next month. Hi S Majesty the Emperor is said to have determined to spend part of the summer at Schonbrunn. We have letters from Greece to the 24th Dec., which are all full of expressions of pleasure on account of the visit of the King of Bavaria. Every one has some anecdote in his praise to relate.
